Figure l2 a vertical section of the saine. v

Similar letters of reference represent corresponding parts in both figures.

This invention consists ina novel construction ofa Hour-dredge. The top being made toisiidc Within the body of the dredge, and being perforated at its sides, is thereby made adjustable atvwill.

In order that others may understand thc construction and operation of this invention, I Will proceed to.

describe it with reference to the drawings.

A is' the base, constituting a cukecutter, which may be constructed in any desirable shape, and upon which ismounted the body or shell,l B, of a. flour-dredge.l C is a distributer, closed at its upper end, and perforated at its sides, which is made to slide within the body of the dredge', B, rendering it thereby adjustable, so that a greater or less number of perforations in the distributer C is uncovered, and a greater or less quantity of its pulverizcd contents may be distributed through the said perforatios. When the dredge is not in use, the top or distributer C may be pushed entirely down, therebyV not only preventing the escape of thev contents loi' therdredge, but excluding dust, insects, or other foreign substance.
